Make everyone look at The Apotheosis of Washington and teach them about the concept of civil religion. Show them the monuments for all the American kids the state drafted and murdered for the sake of “freedom” in Vietnam and Korea (pointing out that the victims from North Vietnam, North Korea, China, etc. go unremarked) and tell them about what actually happened in those wars and why.
I do wonder, if a Communist Revolution happened in America tomorrow… What do you do with DC?
Lots of Socialists suggested moving the nation’s capital to Chicago because it was an industrial hub, and was more centrally located.
But even if you do that, what about all those monuments to genocidal slave holders?
